Wow, I didn't think that you could go that low, +30, on the rears without rubbing.

Got my G35 Coupe wheels on with 235/40/18 Nitto 555's. I absolutely love the way the car looks now. The 30mm offset is perfect in the front and the back. The wheels come right to the fender edge, there is no tuck. I washed the car Saturday afternoon but the pollen has killed the shine already. Once the pollen is gone I will wash and detail and take some pics.

G35 Coupe wheels. Purchased for $700 off ebay from a local guy that only put 50 miles on them. Discount Tire stripped the Michelin Pilots off of the wheels for me and I turned around and sold the tires on ebay for $550 (could have easily gotten $650). Purchased Nitto 555's 235/40/18's and had the wheels and tires mounted.

25lbs each
30mm offset
18x8
I do have dust caps installed on the rear wheels. I am going to pull those off and install the Infiniti center caps. Currently the dust cap prevents the center cap from being full installed.

Lumbee - Your car looks amazing! I can't believe how sick they look with a mild drop on majestic blue. 
I've been considering these for awhile but your drops really gives me a feel for how they'd look on my car.
So how much did the ride degrade with the move to 18's?
Oh, BTW - your ride is now on my desktop. Good work!

I have had Kumho 712's and the Nitto 555's. The Kumho were grippy and would corner on rails. The Nittos aren't as grippy and don't corner as well but are definitely more comfortable.
When I first put them on I was afraid that the G35 wheels would be incredibly heavy. After punching it a few times I quickly realized I was wrong.
These are extremely high quality wheels. Much better build than the MM Evo 5's I had.

Also, any concerns about removing the dustcap? Aren't you risking bearing (I assume) failure?

Removing the dustcap shouldn't cause a problem. I have dustcaps on the rear but nothing on the front. Most members have dustcaps on the front but not on the rear and other have no dustcaps at all. Once the dustcap is removed the center cap for the wheel will go on and protect all vital components.
